Howdy!

Hello everyone! Here's another rundown of an Oakland missionary! Oh boy where do I start....here are some highlights! 

We moved apartments! I'm in the same apartment I was in last year during Christmas so it's so weird but nostalgic I love it! I feel like it's kind of motivating me more bc it reminds me of the good old days with Elder Kohler! Shout out Elder Kohler! And happy late birthday! 

But we've been praying for more media referrals lately and we finally got a golden one! We got a referral for a man named Muez! He's so amazing and prepared! He's from Ethiopia and he's got the purest heart and desire to follow Jesus Christ! We took him to the VC and he loved it! So happy the lord answered our prayers! Yay! 

Another highlight! We had an insane side quest with my old comp Elder Allen and his comp Elder Brown. It was interesting that's all I got to say....let's just say we had to call a paramedic for someone else. Very interesting service opportunity! Anyways...

I just love being a missionary and especially love being a missionary at Christmas time! I'm so grateful that the lord has led me here! I can't believe this all started with some hope and a prayer! I invite everyone to pray before you make a decision because I can promise you if you involve the lord, you will get an answer! 

God loves you and so do I!

WHAT A WEEKEND!

Hey Everyone! Just checking back in after an amazing weekend of REVELATION! I love General Conference and the inspiring messages! I hope you were all able to tune in at some point and if you couldn't watch it watch it rn! The prophets voice is so powerful! After hearing his address there was a little bit of a sense that the second coming of christ is coming A LOT sooner than we may think! But also big news! A NEW TEMPLE IN QUEEN CREEK! I literally called it! Great to see the old hometown getting a house of the lord!  Besides conference this week was a good one! We had zone conference and it was focused on using the scriptures while teaching the doctrine of christ! So many scriptures that I wrote down!! Also this week in Oakland has been HOTTT. it's been getting up to 100 degrees in the bay which is unusual here. Usually I wouldn't complain. Bc I'm an AZ kid but when you live in the top apartment with no AC it's a bummer!  Anyways a crazy miracle is our new friend Co...

New Year New Elder

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  This week was so fast but it was a good one lots of miracles! A cool miracle was we met an innactive member earlier this week and we just had dinner with her tonight and gave her a blessing and she's coming to church this week! It was a miracle because we were tracting and happened to knock on her door she was so happy to see us and almost started crying! Just goes to show the lord truly guides us missionaries!  Our friend Christopher didn't end up getting baptized this weekend. Everything is OK though he is still going to get baptized just needs more time understanding things and we are having daily contacts with him to help him! He's just come so far from where he used to be and he's going to continue to grow because that's one of the blessings that comes from the atonement and something that can truly change us when we use it. Only the purest joys can come through sincere repentance! I just love Christopher let's all pray I don't...
